Peter Stutchbury sets off around the country for 2015 Gold Medal Tour

Peter Stutchbury will present in each state and territory as part of the Gold Medal Tour culminating in Sydney, November 19 with the AS Hook Address.

Announced in March, the Gold Medal is the Institute’s highest honour and was awarded to Stutchbury “for his ongoing contribution to the advancement of architecture through practice, teaching and participation in professional activities and organisations,” said Immediate Past President, David Karotkin.

“In 34 years of practice, Stutchbury has mastered the art of creating architecture that speaks of the place it inhabits – buildings that are environmentally sustainable, culturally specific and locally embedded,” the jury said.

Stutchbury’s most famous works include his two Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture winning projects, Springwater (2005) and Bay House (2003), Deepwater Woolshed and Invisible House, winner of a 2014 NSW Architecture Award for Residential Architecture. He also received the 2015 Wilkinson Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (New) for Light House at the recent NSW Architecture Awards.
